Mortality risk factors for crush syndrome after an earthquake in Türkiye: Do systemic inflammatory parameters play any role?
The aim of our study is to assess the prognostic impact of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) on 28-day mortality in patients admitted to the intensive care unit with crush syndrome following the Kahramanmaraş earthquake in Türkiye. ⋯ Elevated SOFA scores, the necessity for CRRT, increased serum sodium levels, and decreased PLR values are associated with increased 28-day mortality in patients with crush syndrome after an earthquake.

Prediction of anemia with thoracic computed tomography findings.
This study explored the potential of non-contrast thoracic computed tomography (CT) to predict anemia by correlating CT parameters with hemoglobin (Hb) levels in patients who underwent non-contrast thoracic CT for various indications. ⋯ The study concludes that non-contrast thoracic CT parameters, particularly HU measurements and the presence of ARS and HSS, are significantly associated with anemia. These CT indicators could serve as reliable, non-invasive markers for predicting anemia in patients, potentially aiding in the early diagnosis and management of the condition.
